Mayor of Tryon, N. C.
Dear Sir:
I’m not in the habit of writing
so called “fan” mail or the likes
of that, but this is one which
I’ll take great pleasure in writ
ing. It’s going to be in the form
of a thank you note, not necessar
ily to you, but to all the people of
your city. I don’t wish to waste
any of your valuable time but it
was the only way I could think
of to communicate with them, so
I’ll get on with the story.
I’m an American boy serving
in the Royal Air Force in Eng
land. I’ve been in the Air Force
about a year, just long enough
| to make the sight of anything
that reminds me of home a very
welcome one indeed. You can,
therefore, imagine my feelings
when, upon landing after six
very cold hours in a bomber, I
was served with a cup of hot
coffee from a mobile canteen unit
which was a gift from the peo
ple of your city to the people of
England. I determined then and
there to write a note to you
thanking your people for their
generosity, their good will, and
most of all, a cup of hot coffee.
Sincerely,
Donald J. Curtin.
P.S.—If anyone of your community
would care to write to me, I
would be only too happy to answer
any letters I should receive.
My address is:
